A Mini Guide to 5.3 Beasts of Fable: Book II

This part of the guide covers Book II, which requires to defeat Lucky Yi, Greyhoof and Skitterer Xi'a. As you will see, these three Elites are all very easy to kill. 

BEASTS OF FABLE BOOK II

LUCKY YI

Lucky Yi is a critter located at The Heartland, in the Valley of the Four Winds. She has 1883 health, 549 power and 329 speed. Her abilities are Quick Attack, Perk Up and Uncanny Luck. Namely, a move that always goes first, an healing spell and a critical-boost buff. However, despite her good arsenal, Lucky Yi is very easy to defeat.

From my experience, you can pretty much ignore her heal since she often casts it at the very beginning of the fight (essentially wasting it) or even forget to heal at all! Moreover, as she spends turns to buff or heal herself, very unlikely she will one or bi-shots you. So, despite hitting pretty hard, chances are that Lucky Yi will die before you even engage your third pet.

Here, Beasts are your obvious choice: go with hard-hitting ones, such as snakes (Elder Python with Bite, Huge Fang and Slither), cats (Prowl and Pounce), bears or raptors. But really, any Beast will just work more than fine. 

There is not a special strategy to kill Lucky Yi, other than brute-force her to death.

GREYHOOF

Greyhoof is a kodo located in the Valley of the Four Winds; he has 2079 health, 600 power and 306 speed. His abilities are Trample, Hoof and Roar.

For this fight you can use the same line-up and tactic used against Kafi (see here). Very easy!

SKITTERER XI’A

Skitterer Xi’A is an aquatic pet located at the Krasarang Falls, in Krasarang Wilds. He has 1801 health, 563 power and 375 speed. His abilities are Skitter, Flurry and Water Jet. What we call a hard-hitter =)

The mechanics for this fight are very easy since Skitterer only does direct damage: no healing, no debuff, no DoTs. To defeat Skitterer Xi'a, you should use three Flying pets with multiple-hit spells (like Slicing Wind or Alpha Strike) and escape abilities (such as Lift-Off). Given the fact that Skittere hits very hard, you also want to apply Squawk or Shriek to reduce a little the damage taken. 

Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling, Gryphon Hatchling and Wind Rider Cub all have the perfect set-up for this fight: Squawk, Slicing Wind and Lift-Off. Of course, you do not need to possess all three: one to apply the damage reduction is more than enough. 

Basically, start the fight by applying Squawk or Shriek, then hit Lift-Off after which spam Slicing Wind. Die, switch pet, rinse and repeat, win.
